"The footage looks straight out of a horror movie. Three people in disturbing Halloween masks stand in a line on a front lawn, captured by a doorbell camera. They verbally identify themselves as "your worst nightmare," then approach the door, one by one. A deformed clown tiptoes silently, head cocked in menacing curiosity. Someone in a Michael Myers getup growls, "Open up the door!" A man with a wrinkled, smirking mask draws his hand across his throat, mimicking an execution."
"For 11 minutes, even after a resident yells from inside the home that she's called the police, the trio bangs on the door and issues threats, promising to force their way in for a killing spree. After walking around the house and trying the back entrance, they finally leave. This Halloween nightmare took place on a Tuesday night two weeks ago in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of the District of Columbia."
Doorbell footage shows three masked individuals—described as a deformed clown, a Michael Myers figure, and a man in a wrinkled smirking mask—approach a suburban house, identify themselves as "your worst nightmare," and make violent gestures and verbal threats. The trio bangs on the door for eleven minutes despite a resident saying police were called, then tries the back entrance before leaving. The incident occurred in Alexandria, Virginia, while a visitor named Shayla was inside with her mother. Police canvassed the neighborhood, released the video, received tips, and identified the perpetrators as an adult woman and her two sons who planned the prank.
